David, sorry, maybe i’m repeating this e mail. I am the current owner of the Parklane, and If you would have any information (or know someone that does) as far as photos (interior or exterior) that would be great! It would be nice to speak with you as far as how the building looked back then. Could you call or e mail me: my phone is: 1-262-654-7313. Thanks,Robt
